For specific information, please refer to the special page on the official website of the Canadian Immigration Agency on the processing time limit of maple leaf card.

Step 4: Query the Maple Leaf Card Review Results

About three months after submitting the application, the applicant can visit the designated page of the official website of the Canadian Immigration Bureau and check the processing progress of the maple leaf card by entering the maple leaf card number, surname and personal date of birth.

There are two steps in the processing process:

1. The first step is in:

The client's application has entered the immigration officer review stage of the Maple Leaf Card Review Center. The specific review situation is as follows:

If the application process goes smoothly, it will directly enter the next stage: the review results will be announced.

If the immigration officer finds that there are doubts in the applicant's documents, he or she needs to ask him or her to provide necessary supplementary materials.

2. The second step is Made (the review has results). The review results are as follows:

After review and confirmation, the Immigration Bureau will arrange to issue a maple leaf card collection notice within four weeks. Only by holding the notice and the original copy of the corresponding identity certificate can you go to the designated immigration bureau in Canada to collect the new maple leaf card.

(2) Failed to review: The applicant can make a complaint, and there are two results after the complaint:

The complaint result is satisfactory: The Immigration Bureau has approved the applicant's application for renewal of the maple leaf card and plans to issue a notice of receiving the new maple leaf card within the next four weeks. Applicants must bring this notice and a copy of the relevant identification documents before they can go to the designated immigration office in Canada to collect a new maple leaf card.

B. Appeal failed: The Immigration Department rejects the customer's Maple Leaf Card Update Application.

Step 5: Wait for the Immigration Department’s Maple Leaf Card to receive the notice

Customers who go through routine procedures need to wait patiently for 4 to 6 weeks before receiving the notification documents; if an emergency occurs, they can apply for an emergency treatment. At this time, the customer only needs to wait for about 1 week.

Step 6: Receive the Maple Leaf Card

It usually takes 8 to 12 weeks to apply for a maple leaf card. Applicants must personally follow the notice to collect it at the designated location and cannot be collected by others. The Immigration Bureau will keep the card for 180 days after it is completed. If the applicant fails to withdraw the card within this period, the card will be deemed invalid. At that time, the applicant must resubmit the application.
